Milford Sound, New Zealand

Oct 6, 2015

Arrived in Te Anau and went on a 4 hour walk around the lake. In the morning we were picked up at 7am ready for our Milford Sound cruise! One road in and out of Milford and the scenery was incredible, waterfalls cascade down the side of ice capped mountains! The cruise around Milford was lovely, penguins and seals and a lot of Chinese people!!!

Te Anau, New Zealand

We arrive in Te Anau early morning and check into our hostel, drop our bags and get straight out onto a 14km trek around the lake! The air is crisp but the views are amazing! We walk around the lake and head back to the hostel. We also made friends with a one legged duck. We named it Daisy.

Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand

We took a helicopter ride up to Franz Josef Glacier which was amazing! Such incredible views!! Landed on top of the Glacier and this group of Chinese people started launching ice at the helicopter!!!!! Mental people!!! Went on a 3 hour ice climb across the Glacier before flying back down. Such a good experience!!

We got the worst phone call today. Daisy the silly dog passed away yesterday. She was getting older so we kind of knew it would eventually happen, just not so soon after we left home! She was the best dog, never met a dog like her before. Something I will not miss though is her constant barking at 3am! R.I.P Daisy x
